Ambulation aid
Knee and Leg Walker by Essential Medical Supply. This version has an adjustable cushion and handlebars, with dual handbrakes.Knee scooter in use
A knee scooter or knee walker is a two-, three- or four-wheeled alternative to crutches or a traditional walker as an ambulation aid. It is known by many other names, including knee coaster, knee cruiser, knee caddy, orthopaedic scooter, or leg walker.[1]
Over the years, it has taken on many forms—from small-wheeled devices suitable for indoor use, to larger, sturdier units capable of use outside on grass or paved surfaces. Today’s version is usually a lightweight, foldable design that, with the knee flexed, supports the shin of the unusable limb. The opposite foot makes contact with the floor or ground, providing propulsion.
